Meal Prep Saturday! It may be the holiday season, but we still need to eat REAL food. I mean I would love to live off cookies, brownies and cake the entire month of December, but my hips and thighs don't. Actually, my stomach is very sensitive. Too many treats and it freaks out on me.

That's why I've been posting a balance of healthy main dish recipes (like this Meal Prep Buffalo Chicken Spaghetti Squash) and holiday goodies. To keep you inspired to eat healthy through the holiday season with a sprinkle of treats in between!

You would never look at this recipe and think, WOW I NEED to eat that. But believe me, YOU DO. I didn't realize how much I love buffalo sauce until my boyfriend got me hooked on buffalo wings. Our favorite local grill does them a special way. A recipe I hope to recreate soon. So now, I'm obsessed with putting buffalo sauce on ALL THE FOOD.

I used Tessamae Buffalo Sauce, but Tabasco also makes a good one with clean ingredients. Both are gluten free and delicious. I will warn you, they are spicy so this recipe is for the ultimate spice lover.
